TO AMEND SECTION 40-57-155, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR REAL ESTATE BROKERS AND SALES AGENTS, SO AS TO APPLY THE REQUIREMENTS TO REAL ESTATE PROPERTY MANAGERS, AND PROVIDE THAT, FOR PROPERTY MANAGERS, THE EIGHT HOURS MUST INCLUDE A MINIMUM OF TWO HOURS OF INSTRUCTION ON FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS AFFECTING PROPERTY MANAGERS AND THAT THE REMAINING HOURS MUST INCLUDE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT RELATED COURSES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 40-57-155(A) of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 170 of 1993 and as last amended by Act 476 of 1994, is further amended to read:
"(A) As a condition of license renewal, a broker, or sales agent, or licensed property manager must satisfactorily complete eight hours of approved course instruction biennially as prescribed by the commission by a course provider approved by the commission. The eight hours for sales and broker agents must include a minimum of two hours of instruction on changes in federal and state law affecting licensees. For licensed property managers, the eight hours must include a minimum of two hours of instruction on federal and state laws affecting property managers, and the remaining hours must include property management related courses as approved by the commission. A licensee having successfully completed a thirty-hour course for qualification as a broker is not required to participate in the continuing education program for that particular year. A licensee who decides to become inactive is not required to participate in the continuing education program but must complete the eight-hour requirement before returning to active status."
SECTION 2. Section 40-57-155(H) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 476 of 1994, is further amended to read:
"(H) A licensee upon reaching the age of sixty-five fifty-five, with a minimum of twenty-five years of licensure, is exempt from the requirements of this section."
